Subject: [ruby-core:54330] [ruby-trunk - Feature #8270] Ruby should build without thread support (aka minix)


Issue #8270 has been updated by nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada).


I have never played with it at all.
"does not yet" means there is a plan to implement?

Feature #8270: Ruby should build without thread support (aka minix)
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/8270#change-38610

Author: eike.rb (Eike Dierks)
Status: Open
Priority: Low

Category: build
Target version: Next Major


I tried to ./configure ruby on Minix 3.2.1,
The configure failed, because minix does not yet implement threads.

I'd like to suggest that ruby should still build on platforms without threads.

AFAIK the language does not yet require thread support in itself,
but maybe the new GC does require it.
So we might want to look up,
where the dependencies on threading really are.
